(West Coast Premiere): Merce Cunningham's decentralization of stage space-or rather, the use of a multiplicity of centers-gives the spectator the freedom to choose his or her own focal point. In television, the director and choreographer must choose the point of view the camera will assume at any given moment. In Changing Steps, Elliot Caplan and Cunningham have placed the dancers both in the foreground and the distance, using an enlarged depth of field, so that the spectator again is given a choice of where to direct his or her attention. Cunningham choregoraphed "Changing Steps" (1973) as "a piece which could have a different order from performance to performance...Any sequence can go with any other, in any order, overlapping or simultaneously." In Caplan's words, this meant that the piece would be "open for the camera."
